Now that ‘Super’ Sage avenged his debut loss after a four-year layoff, he’s excited to keep the momentum going with a new matchup before the end of the year.

At the ONE Fight Night 10 post-event presser, Northcutt expressed a desire to test his grappling skills against Japanese veteran and former ONE lightweight world champion Shinya Aoki next.

He said:

“I did have one set up with Shinya Aoki, and I think that would be a super exciting one. Looking through my finishes now, you can see my grappling has improved a lot, and I got to show some grappling. He’s a great grappler. I think that would be a really exciting match.”

Originally, Northcutt and Aoki were slated to fight in a welterweight bout at ONE on TNT 4 in Singapore, before the American star pulled out of the card for testing positive for COVID-19.
